"Stripping off the P-word of its
power by replacing it with the
word opportunity has been one of
the most useful methods I use
with my clients, helping them
unlock their unlimited potential
within and overcome any stuckness
they may experience.”
Humaira Ansari
Clinical Hypnotherapist
Manchester, UK
“After challenging myself to exclude
the ”P-word" from my daily
vocabulary, constantly adjusting my
mindset to be positive, and
proactively acknowledging my
emotions, my colleagues have
noticed a change in me.
Michael Sony
India
I would definitely say that refusing
to utter the P-Word developed the
habit to be formless like water: I
am always aware that there is at
least a way to resolve any issue in
life, no matter how "big" it seems.
